After speculating earlier this year that Eaton Vance would raise its distributions on its equity CEFs, that was finally confirmed last week on April 1. The distribution increases range from 4.6% for ETV to 32.2% for EOS which gets most of the funds back up to their previous distribution levels from 2022.

Eaton Vance has multiple equity closed-end funds with similar names, but each fund generally has subtle differences in their portfolios and underlying investment strategies. The Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Income Fund and the Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund are two funds that are rather unique.

The Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund provides high income and exposure to foreign companies. The fund's current yield of 6.74% is better than most equity indices, although it is considerably lower than many other closed-end funds.

For those who invest for dividends, the goal is to look for securities that can guarantee sustainable dividends and distributions over time. Choices about how to deploy the income generated by those instruments are personal and depend on each investor's needs, financial means, and age.

Total Return is the actual rate of return for an investment over a given evaluation period, typically one, three, five, or ten years. The Total NAV Return is the sum of all dividends/distributions, assuming they are reinvested, plus the change in the NAV of the fund, be it positive or negative. However, managing our portfolio is not only about applying financial rules, because it is not certain that dividends can and will always be reinvested.

For income investors, closed-end funds remain an attractive investment class that covers a variety of asset classes and promises high distributions and reasonable total returns. Closed-end funds, or CEFs, are generally characterized by higher volatility and deeper drawdowns than the broader market. For these reasons, they are not suited for everyone. In this monthly series, we highlight five CEFs with solid track records that pay high distributions and offer "excess" discounts. We try to separate the wheat from the chaff using our filtering process to select just five CEFs every month from around 500 closed-end funds.

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund offers a 7.27% yield, which is better than many common equities but not impressive compared to fixed-income or blended closed-end funds. The fund's performance has been reasonable, with a 2.25% gain since September, but it has underperformed the S&P 500 Index and the MSCI World Index. The fund's portfolio is not well-diversified globally, with a majority of its assets invested in American issuers, and its largest positions do not consist of high-yielding dividend stocks.

Perfection is defined as being complete and correct in every way, and can be pursued in various fields, including art and investing. For years now, I have been employing all my strength in investing in CEFs and ETFs, plus some “flirtations” with ETNs and BDCs. My portfolio is certainly not perfect, but acceptably fulfills the task for which it was designed: namely, to provide me with a steady stream of dividends over time.
